[Tim Duncan joined Greg Popovich and Spurs general manager R.C. Buford at Saturday's meeting with Karl Malone . But he isn't ready to clear locker space for Malone just yet.] He's one heck of a talent and would be a great addition to our team, ... But, again, it's just talk right now. |
Absolutely, yes, definitely, ... He pulled me out of an incredible hole that I put myself in. |
Beno has been playing great for us. With Nick out right now, Beno is getting a lot of minutes and he has really responded well. |
Bruce is always awesome, it doesn't matter who (he's defending), Kobe or anybody else in the league, ... He's going to make them work for every point that they get. ... He was in (Bryant's) face every shot he took. |
But it's kind of weird, to me, too. I didn't see it happening when it was happening. I thought we had the focus, knowing that they killed us on the offensive boards last time. We just didn't get it done, and I don't know what to say about it. |
Defensively, I thought we were pretty solid. Our game plan was there, but it?s just about putting some balls in the hole. |
Everybody came on. I'm not surprised, but pleased with the focus. Even with the score, they didn't want a letdown. They came in and played hard. Everybody understands. From one (minute) to 48, they did it the right way. All-in-all it was a very solid game. |
Everything's not clicking yet, but we're heading that way. It was a great learning experience today being able to fight back and staying with each other. |
Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best. |
He did a great job on the offensive glass, made some big baskets for them and showed some great touch right around the basket. |
He did what he usually does. He affects shots around the basket ... He came out and played with a lot of energy. |
He knows his role, and he's sticking to it. |
He was great tonight. He made all of the shots down the stretch and made some great moves. His play down the stretch was the difference in the game tonight. |
He's such a fun-loving guy and a good guy. He's one of great guys in the basketball, period. I don't think you could find anybody that would say a bad word about him and you love to root for a guy like that. |
I am feeling pretty good right now. I am as healthy right now as I have been all season. I got a couple of shots to go down tonight and that is good because they haven't been going down lately. |
